Contemplative Studies: Developing Restorative Relationships

“We seek to not only minimize our ecological footprint, but to change our relationship with the Earth, our environment.”

The Nature Studies Conservatory (NSC) provides community education and resources to improve quality of life and optimizing whole life health and wellbeing. Our focus is building restorative relationships with the environment (mind-body, family, partner/friends, home/workplace, local-global community, and Nature/the Earth).

The Conservatory's comprehensive approach addresses the multi-layered issues that not only affect the planet’s ecosystems and resources; but, also social-economic development; health and wellbeing; and our quality of life. The connection between societal structure and relationship development has far reaching implications in co-creating a sustainable culture that is harmonized with the environment.
